Beer-steamed Prawns

• Serves: 2
• Prep: 10 mins
• Cook: 4 mins

This is easy cooking at its best with only four ingredients - prawns, ginger, beer and salt. With so few ingredients, the goodness of the prawns really shines through so buy the freshest prawns that your money can buy for this dish!

Ingredients

• 8 large prawns (or 'shrimps' in the US) about 250 grams
• ginger slices no need to peel; enough to line plate
• beer 150ml estimate; enough to submerge prawns partially
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Trim the head and tail end of the prawns. Make a small incision towards the back of the prawn and use a tooth pick to pull out the veins at the back. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to trim and discard the veins on the under-side.
2. Soak deveined prawns in a bowl of water with 1 tsp salt. After 10 minutes, drain and rinse the prawns.
3. Line steaming plate (with a bit of depth) with sliced ginger. Arrange prawns one layer on top of ginger. Pour enough beer to submerge the prawns partially.
4. Prepare steamer. When water in steamer is boiling, steam the plate of prawns at high heat for about 4 minutes, or until the prawns turned fully orange. Do not over-cook.
